• Lead Agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and daily standups.
• Monitor project scope, budgets, timelines, risks, and dependencies while proactively communicating project status.
• Partner with technical leads and cross-functional teams to coordinate work and ensure high-quality delivery.
• Build strong relationships with client stakeholders by providing clear communication, thoughtful guidance, and exceptional service.
• Facilitate client meetings and prepare meeting summaries, status reports, and project deliverables.
• Support contract execution by managing deliverables, scope changes, and project documentation aligned with Statements of Work (SOWs).
• Collaborate with the Growth team on project estimates, proposals, and follow-on opportunities when appropriate.
• Contribute to continuous improvements in delivery processes, project operations, and team collaboration.
